Chapter 180: The court plot, multiple approaches

Time flies, time flies like an arrow.

After experiencing the previous turmoil in which the Zhang family was "dismissed" from office and even completely withdrawn from the army.

The entire Zhang family.

It has become quieter than before.

Many courtiers have now invariably reduced their contacts with the Zhang family.

avoid arousing suspicion.

The current Zhang family.

Almost no one cares about it.

The door is deserted and the horses are sparse.

And in the court hall.

It has been many days since the Zhang family was seen.

All decisions were suggested by other courtiers in the court, and then decided by Liu Che.

Whether it's external performance or even everything.

can be displayed clearly.

The determination of the Zhang family is unquestionable.

The Zhang family wants to withdraw completely!

Including some things in the court.

For some people.

This is undoubtedly a great happy event.

but.

Many people also expressed concerns to varying degrees.

Including many generals in the army, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.

They all expressed their regret for the departure of the Zhang family.

They are very aware of the Zhang family's contribution. Whether in the court or in the military, the Zhang family has prestige and strength.

It’s so easy to give up now.

Sigh.

Now, in the military.

The Zhang family has completely withdrawn.

Before leaving, Zhang Wei had specially asked someone to bring a message to Huo Qubing.

Stand still.

With these four simple words, it seems that the Zhang family did not reveal much useful information.

Of course, this is based on some fools. They just think that the Zhang family is pretending to be mysterious and hope to stabilize themselves.

but.

Who is Huo Qubing?

In history, Huo Qubing was granted the title of son-in-law. He had already achieved great military exploits at a young age, almost to the point of being incompetent.

No matter in terms of ability or IQ, he is naturally superior to others.

Even now.

He is still relying on his own abilities to rise through the ranks in the military step by step.

Facing the Zhang family's words, or a kind reminder.

Huo Qubing showed considerable skill.

I would rather trust it to have it than to trust it to have nothing.

And if the Zhang family really had evil intentions, why would he bother to find someone to explain to him? With the ability of the Zhang family, it is more than enough to press a general who has not yet fulfilled his talent.

at the moment.

With the withdrawal of the Zhang family.

The factions in the army have gradually become clear.

The original location of the Zhang family was the faction they supported.

They are already losing ground.

Including Wei Qing and others.

Although, he achieved great military exploits in the last battle.

However, with the withdrawal of the Zhang family, it seems to be a sign of decline, and their voice in the military is getting smaller and smaller.

On the contrary.

The other faction took advantage of this opportunity and rose up step by step.

Today's situation has been turned upside down!

Huo Qubing originally followed his idea.

It makes no difference which side you join.

As long as you have the ability.

There is bound to be a day when he will succeed.

however.

This reminder from the Zhang family.

It did give him pause.

Some times.

Choosing the correct team also has a profound impact.

What's more, it's the Zhang family.

Furthermore.

Huo Qubing himself did not believe that the Zhang family, which had previously dominated the ruling party, would decline.

Or.

The Zhang family's original power not only controlled the overall situation in the court, but also gradually had their presence in the army.

Will the Zhang family retreat so easily?

Will they give up everything they have fought for so easily?

not necessarily.

On the contrary, it was their every move.

Very much like, retreating temporarily?

Huo Qubing hesitated.

This hesitation means that he has not made a decision for a long time.

In the military, there is no such thing as neutrality.

Main battle or main surrender?

Obviously, Huo Qubing is more inclined to the main militant faction.

Zhang Wei sent someone to give prompts in a timely manner.

Following the development of another faction will inevitably lead to failure!

in this way.

Huo Qubing confirmed his choice.

In the army, he successfully became the suppressed party.

It’s not like no one loves him and thinks his talents should not be buried.

Some people wanted to help Huo Qubing, but they were all rejected by him.

For now, he has no plans to take sides.

He believed in his own judgment, and even more so in the Zhang family's decision on timing!

above the hall.

The voices of the generals of the main fighting faction became louder and louder.

Voices of launching war against the Xiongnu also gradually began to become louder.

I don’t know when.

There are also voices among the people who want to pursue victory against the Huns.

Even if some people said they needed to recuperate, they were all submerged in the torrent of this main battle.

In the previous war in Mayi.

The main force of the Xiongnu had been completely wiped out.

Even the subsequent troops pursued by the Han Dynasty did not achieve much success.

But at least, we have figured out the reality of the Xiongnu.

In other words.

They no longer have the strength to resist!

Their main force was completely wiped out. For the big man, it was the best time to set foot on the grassland.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to serve as the vanguard, riding horses on the grassland, and swear not to return it until the king's tent is broken!"

above the hall.

Countless generals swore an oath and rushed to express their willingness to fight for the Han Dynasty.

Faced with such a situation.

Liu Che was still a little hesitant.

Zhang Wei's words from before still echoed in his ears.

At the moment, the time for the big man to set foot on the grassland is not yet ripe.

First, the Huns must be on guard.

Shanyu has once again completed internal integration with the help of the high pressure from the Han Dynasty and Chen Bing's border.

Even if their foundation is unstable, in the face of foreign enemies, will the Huns choose civil strife? Or is it against foreign enemies?

The hatred of the country and the family, their choice can be imagined.

Secondly, the Han Dynasty was not prepared for a real war.

The previous war seemed to have little impact on the strong man with strong resilience.

However, in fact, it consumed too much of the country's national power.

Even if he is a big man with a farming civilization, he still needs a lot of time to recuperate.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to die to remonstrate with you! This is the best time for my great man to send troops. If we do not stop, we will suffer chaos, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, this is a critical time for our survival. We must seize the opportunity to destroy the Xiongnu. Otherwise, if we, a great Han, form such a big enmity with the Xiongnu, we will definitely be in trouble!"

"His Majesty……"

There is no more obstruction from the Zhang family.

Countless courtiers ignored Liu Che's ideas and lined up in the court to remonstrate.

His words were sincere, as if he were a loyal minister who was devoted to his life.

Many generals even knelt down on one knee.

Facing Liu Che, his eyes were bright.

The fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

It can't be covered up no matter what.

a long time.

Liu Che finally nodded.

"Since you all have said this, I can't help you. In the near future, I, a big man, will march into the grassland!"

As Liu Che's domineering words fell.

A trace of joy flashed across the faces of countless people.

Countless people even shouted His Majesty’s Holy Wisdom!

In the court room. There is harmony between the king and his ministers.

just.

A trace of hesitation flashed in Liu Che's eyes.

Still can't escape the eyes of interested people.

of course.

Even if they saw it, no one would speak.

Isn't opening your mouth now the same as insulting the entire court?

It seemed that he was using this matter to please Liu Che.

Actually?

The lesson is right before our eyes!

In fact, it will only provoke the hostility of the entire court just like the Zhang family!

Therefore.

Many smart people have invariably remained silent.

There is really no need to cause trouble for these things.

Moreover, for most people, the benefits of going to war definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

An easy victory!

In this way, the court meeting slowly ended in an eerie silence.

……

sunset.

The low dusk enveloped the entire land.

The sun was sinking slowly in the sky.

Darkness enveloped the entire earth.

The black night becomes increasingly quiet.

It was so quiet that it was even as eerie as the current court hall.

At least, that's what Liu Che thinks.

With no one watching.

From the back door of the palace, Liu Che, surrounded by several confidants, walked forward along the familiar path.

"Squeak."

There was a soft sound from the door of the courtyard.

"Wangchuan."

There was a familiar voice.

Zhang Wangchuan stood up quickly.

Salute Liu Che respectfully.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Wangchuan, a grassroots citizen, pays homage to your Majesty."

Hear the words.

Liu Che showed his sincerity.

"Wangchuan. I have said it many times. Even if you want to resign from your position, I will still refuse! Now, you are still the minister of my great man!"

Zhang Wangchuan's face showed a little shame.

"Your Majesty, even though I have the title of Minister, I have not done anything now, and there is no evidence of being a Minister. I feel ashamed to accept this Minister."

Liu Che waved his hand.

"Wangchuan, you will listen to whatever I say. Furthermore, I have never felt that you do not have the qualifications to be a minister. Even now, in an extraordinary period, Wangchuan has to resign from this position, and I am still waiting for you."

Zhang Wangchuan in front of him was very moved.

Saluted Liu Che once again.

A scene of harmony between the monarch and his ministers.

The entrance to the courtyard.

There was a soft sound again.

"My lord, Zhang Wangjing, pays homage to Your Majesty."

Liu Che still had the same attitude.

"Wangjing, you are here."

The three of them took their seats one after another.

"Now, I am here because the situation in the court is really giving me a headache. The main reason is..."

in front of the screen.

Zhang Wei listened to Liu Che's description.

A trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

More than that, his heart was filled with a kind of helplessness, even sarcasm.

You can see it.

Because of the absence of the Zhang family.

In the court, all kinds of monsters and ghosts began to jump out and cause trouble.

Of course, the general direction is still controlled by the generals.

Want to take action against the Huns.

In other words, they felt that the Han Dynasty had already experienced a battle before and wiped out all the elite Xiongnu.

At present, the remaining defeated troops of the Xiongnu are a great achievement for them.

They escaped the most difficult battle.

The rest is nothing more than pursuing victory.

Merits are like ears of wheat in the field, just waiting for them to bend down and pick them up.

Think about it this way.

Almost all the generals are eager to try.

Only then did various remarks about being willing to be a pioneer come to the court.

Where is the willingness to be a pioneer?

How is this willingness to take the lead? This is to gain military glory first!

Liu Che didn't know what they were thinking.

to be frank.

He also wanted to take action against the Huns.

just.

All along, Zhang Wei's warnings appeared in front of him.

Indeed, it is absolutely impossible for the Huns to sit still and wait for death.

Shan is such a talented person.

Realizing that the threat from the Han Dynasty was imminent, he must have purged the Huns.

Even the main force of the Huns was lost.

Really come to the home court of the Huns.

The biggest possibility for a big man is to return without success.

"It's just that all the courtiers in the court behaved with loyalty and courage. I really can't bear to refuse."

between words.

Liu Che was full of helplessness.

At the same time, Zhang Wei also felt the same way.

In fact, the Zhang family has always been silently sharing this feeling for Liu Che.

Now, Liu Che felt it.

Why do all the courtiers in the court take the lead bravely?

What they do is nothing more than military glory, simply because this military glory is easily obtainable in their minds.

Actually?

In fact, when faced with a real choice, it was like the first war between the Han and the Huns.

Faced with the question of who is willing to take the back seat.

Silence fell.

Liu Che has naturally seen their true colors.

Helpless, more people still hate that iron cannot become steel.

Want to take them down.

A good excuse is definitely needed.

You can't always launch a purge of the court.

The targets of the purge are still military generals.

You must be cautious and cautious!

"Your Majesty, you are very good at following the trend of the situation in the court. In fact, the time to attack the Huns is almost ripe now. What is missing is their internal promotion. In other words, we only need to wait quietly, that is enough."

"However, the court officials couldn't wait any longer, so we had no choice but to go with the flow. There was nothing wrong with agreeing to their request, but..."

Zhang Wei hesitated to speak.

"It's just what? Zhang Aiqing, but it doesn't matter."

Liu Che was a little anxious.

"It's just that, Your Majesty, this matter needs long-term consideration. For example, I, the Han Dynasty, will send multiple armies to the Xiongnu, and our cronies will inevitably be placed among them. And this is our chance to make the final decision."

"In other words, we need to completely separate that group of people from ours! They are surrounded by many roads. Whether this matter is big or small, only His Majesty can decide."

As soon as Zhang Wei said this.

Liu Che understood.

This matter still needs Liu Che to make his own decision.

Military matters.

Originally, the Zhang family was willing to stand up and speak for Liu Che.

However, there was too much gossip in the court, and there were too many good people in the Zhang family who couldn't stand it.

Therefore, Zhang Wei chose to retreat temporarily.

Now, they want their plan to be implemented smoothly and they want to arrange everything correctly.

Naturally, they needed Liu Che to take the initiative to speak.

For example, arrange their own army.

The reason why the army is divided into several parts.

The fact is that Zhang Wei has already discovered that there are different factions in the army, and there will naturally be various phenomena of competing for military glory.

He didn't want his careful planning to be enjoyed by some people who didn't have to do anything.

Again.

If you people provoke the Zhang family, I, Zhang Wei, will certainly not care about it!

Zhang Wei admits that he has never been a generous person.

For those who dare to provoke the Zhang family and dare to secretly stumble the Zhang family.

Han Anguo has already met their best end!

"Your Majesty, I have learned that there is a young general Huo Qubing in the army. His strength and abilities are among the best, and he is uniquely capable of cavalry."

"In this case, Your Majesty, I suggest that Huo Qubing and Wei Qing be on the same side to attack the Xiongnu together."

Zhang Wei spoke calmly.
